From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

The airman approached to land on runway 36 at Roosterville Airport (0N0). He elected to go around. He re-entered the traffic pattern after retracting the landing gear and flaps. On the second approach to landing, he failed to extend the landing gear, causing minor damage to the aircraft.
